magnaflow muffler

how would a magnaflow muffler sound on a pontiac g5 gt with just cutting the stock muffler off and welding the magnaflow on? and leaving resignator alone. im asking this because the stock exhaust is already 2.25in. and thats wat the cat-back system uses. money is an issue, any suggestions?

depending on what magnaflow muffler you use it should sound good, i used to have a round magnaflow and it sounded pretty good, i recomend an oval one and it will sound nice.

I'm prettty sure the stock 2.4L exhaust is 2 1/2". The proper catback for that car is the 2 1/2" Magnaflow system, which I have. Just bolting a 2 1/2" Magnaflow muffler on will still sound good.

agreed...

i heard the clear image custom exhaust with magnaflow muffler, that's one of the best sounding exhaust for us i've heard. but if loudness is what you want then megan exhaust is the way to go
